Details

The Horsebridge Arts and Community Centre is located just yards from the beach in the centre of Whitstable town, on a site which has a long tradition of community and cultural activity and offers stunning sea views, a balcony café and rooms to hire for all community needs.

The Centre offers two versatile gallery spaces on the ground floor, with new exhibitions usually changing weekly and featuring works from local art societies and community groups as well as shows from solo and international artists.

There is a large performance space, with seating accommodating up to 150 (or 240 standing) for music and theatre. This air-conditioned room is a popular venue for music, comedy, films and other events every week, and is also used for parties, conferences and classes. There are four smaller rooms available for hire to meeting convenors and class tutors.

Since the launch of the Centre in April 2004, it has established itself as a quality venue at the heart of the arts, social, learning and leisure activities in Whitstable and the wider north-east Kent area, with a footfall of more than 100,000 year on year. It is fully accessible throughout (with a lift), offers free Wi-Fi and a café which is fully licensed.
